CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 479

A network technician is investigating an issue with handheld devices in a warehouse. Devices have not been connecting to the nearest APs, but they have been connecting to an AP on the far side of the warehouse. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of this issue?

Answer options

• A. The nearest APs are configured for 802.11g.
• B. An incorrect channel assignment is on the nearest APs.
• C. The power level is too high for the AP on the far side.
• D. Interference exists around the AP on the far side.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because an incorrect channel assignment can prevent devices from connecting to the nearest APs due to poor signal quality or overlapping channels. Option A is incorrect as 802.11g should still allow for connectivity unless there are other issues. Option C is also not the problem because high power levels would typically improve connectivity, and option D is unlikely to affect devices connecting to the far AP.
